`Counsel,

`A conference is not necessary. Petitioner is authorized to file a Reply of no more than 12-pages limited
`to addressing the Fintiv factors and the Hulu argument regarding Etchells and Casio, which must be
`filed no later than July 20, 2020. When addressing the Finitiv factors, the panel invites Petitioner to
`specifically address Patent Owner’s contention that “there is no substantial difference between Casio
`used [in the Petition] and Sony used in the District Court Action.” Paper 6, 11. In addition, when
`addressing the Finitiv factors, the panel invites Petitioner to address what, if any, material differences
`exist between the facts presented in this case and those presented in the related IPR2020-00203
`matter. Patent Owner is authorized similarly to file a Sur-Reply of no more than 12-pages limited to
`addressing the arguments made in Petitioner’s Reply, which must be filed no later than July 31, 2020.
`Finally, Petitioner’s Reply should refer to this email as authorization for the filing and the email should
`be included as an exhibit.

`Subject: Apple v. Maxell; IPR No. 2020-00597
`To the Board:
`I am writing on behalf of Petitioner Apple Inc. regarding IPR No. 2020-00597. In nine prior
`IPRs between Apple and Maxell, the Board permitted the parties to file 10-page
`
`IPR2020-00597
`Apple EX1056 Page 1
`
`
`
`IPRs between Apple and Maxell, the Board permitted the parties to file 10-page
`replies and sur-replies to the Patent Owner Preliminary Responses (POPRs) addressing
`the Fintiv factors. Apple seeks leave in this IPR to file a reply to Maxell’s POPR
`addressing Fintiv and for Maxell to file a sur-reply as has been permitted previously.
`Maxell does not oppose this portion of Apple’s request.
`Apple also separately requests leave to file an additional two-pages in its reply directed
`towards Maxell’s argument in its POPR relating to the Etchells Declaration (Ex. 1007). In
`its POPR, Maxell advances an argument that the Board’s precedential decision in Hulu
`requires Apple to submit communications from Casio to Etchells to meet its burden
`establishing the Casio reference is prior art. POPR, 38-40. Because Maxell’s argument
`rests on a legal requirement that does not exist within Hulu or elsewhere, Apple could not
`have foreseen this argument when drafting its petition. As such, Apple additionally
`requests two pages in the reply and sur-reply to address this issue. Maxell does not
`oppose this portion of Apple’s request.
`In sum, both parties agree 12-page replies and sur-replies to the POPRs should be
`permitted to address the Fintiv factors and the Hulu argument regarding Etchells and
`Casio.
`The Parties are available for a call with the Board at the following times:
`Thursday, July 9 – Any time
`Monday, July 13 – Afternoon
`Sincerely,
`Adam Seitz
`Erise IP
`Counsel for Petitioner
